Heart of a Prime

Chapter 48

Hey my lovely readers! I am back from my week away of cruising! Do not worry, I did not forget about my stories, I made sure to allow my free mind to wander and write down the following chapters of the story. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I enjoyed writing them. Happy reading!

The next couple days have been quite busy for Saphira. Not only did she have to keep practicing driving the different vehicles, she had to help design a course that would mimic situations students could face in the field when it came to transformers. It was fun to do and she would get to test the track once it was complete. Saphira also had to sign paperwork regarding her clearance, agreement to keep the transformers a secret and a few other pieces of paperwork that was important. Saphira did not mind signing these as she knew she had to.

She also received a phone that would be considered for classified use. So she could call Will directly if she needed to, along with a few other people if needed. Though Saphira felt she would only need to contact Will because the other contacts she did not even know.

Aside from a new phone, she also had to go through basic training as well. She was glad Will himself had taken up the charge of training her because she didn't know how she would go if someone else worked with her. She had to go through general self defense and basic training with a handgun. It was already a lot of work.

On top of that, Saphira went to Ratchet at the end of each day to learn more about their medical knowledge. Ratchet even made a fake protoform for her to work on to learn how to help if needed. The medic was very inspired by how quickly Saphira picked up the knowledge. He had no doubt that she could be the autobots' best medic if she kept it up. And that was something he himself was proud to say.

Saphira was currently in the training wing of the NEST base, she was standing in front of Will as he stood opposite her. "Alright, shall we go over it again?" Will asked softly, and she nodded. "Remember, since you are small, you will need to use your opponent's size against themselves. Anyone larger then you can sometimes be slower, so you should use that to your advantage. Alright...let's go again." Saphira nodded, holding up her arms and getting herself into a stance ready to practice. Will held up his own hands. "Now..." He threw his fist and she blocked it. "Good...next..." He threw the next punch and she blocked that as well. "Now, unbalance me."

Saphira ducked and swiped her feet to kick his legs and pushed him backwards. She smiled as he stumbled backwards and she ran to throw him into the ground. Thankfully, the ground was cushioned so no one would get hurt and they were not throwing real punches and kicks. "I did it!"

Will chuckled, looking up at her and moving to stand. "You did. Now, use my punch to throw me into the ground." He held up his hands and Saphira waited before he threw a punch and she grabbed his wrist and pulled him, throwing him into the ground. She giggled softly as Will grunt when he landed. "Oof! Now that was a good one!"

Saphira smiled at him, extending her hand to him to help him up. "I'm getting better at this! How long am I needing to go through the training?"

"Two weeks. Don't worry, time is flying honestly. And you learn very quickly." Will took a deep breath. "We will repeat this a few more times before I teach you something new."

Saphira nodded, getting herself into position to continue the defensive training. It was good exercise to her, even though it had been hard at first. She was lucky she was learning quickly. She already had done some handgun training as well. She knew she would not be taught how to use any other weapons.

As for Optimus, he and some of the autobots had already started going on missions. They were on one right now. Wheeljack, Ratchet and Sideswipe were the only bots at the base currently. And the only reason why Will isn't with them is because he was training Saphira. He would meet up with them after he is finished.
